Yaz Fan Since 67

I'm just glad you are still here and hope you continue. I much prefer message boards, where you get to know the posters, over other social media forms where most of the interactions are one offs.

I keep imaging how good Ceddanne can be if he ever learned the strike zone. It may happen, then look out.

Yep, love the new and very fast replay. Like most of us I find that I'm right on the vast majority of the calls they look at. They beat a good pitcher last night, Ranger and Bello kept them in the game. For some reason I enjoy beating Fairbanks. He just has a face you want to punch. I used "Eli's Coming" too as he rounded the bases. I was alone but still cracked myself up.

Contraras is such a good first basement. He is the glue that holds that infield together and has saved so many throwing errors. The play the other night were he fielded a one hopper as he peddled backwards and still maintained the bag as he caught the ball was a thing of beauty.

It's hardly "fair and balanced" when I basically need to force any positive comments out of you regarding Ceddanne. As I said this may be the only positive comment I've seen from you about one of our best players. But then again I tend to ignore a lot of your content.

Trying to remember the last time you pointed out Ceddanne's strengths. Reading your comments the day after he had a great game makes you look foolish. Again.

The Marble House, a giant house built entirely out of marble. Insane.

Haven't posted as we've been on vacation. Newport, RI to be exact. What a strange place that is, the money those people who built those mansions had is just sick. A couple of thoughts: The mood here sure goes back and forth like this crazy season has. I'm seeing a lot of positive posts after 2 wins, just a few days ago it was all gloom and doom. This is the nature of fans. I'm obviously concerned about Roger but I'm getting convinced it's health. He has too good of a track record for me to be worried. Outfield arms continue to disappoint me. Saw 2 more throws at the plate that weren't even close to the plate the other night. I don't want Trevor Story to take any more meaningful bats for my Red Sox. I've seen enough. Hopefully this is the game that gets Adley going. Bello is simply amazing in this roll. The Jays are back in it. What a crazy season this has been in the AL East.

Please don't rush Anthony back. Give him plenty of games in the minors to get his timing down.

When you go that deep in a rotation the starter ends up like the A's starter last night. Bullpen depth is better around baseball now, you have a better chance with those guys IMO over a terrible starter.

You know it's a weird season when discussing how the third base coach has turned around his season is a viable conversation. As I listen to the announcer go on about this team's accomplishments he was interrupted twice as the Red Sox rifled doubles down the line and circled the bases. What an amazing thing we are experiencing.

What is equally shocking is we have players that can actually execute a bunt. This has been lost in baseball for many many years. Durbin does remind me of Peddy. It was impossible to like him for me the first 2 months. I recognized his defense but his at bats were painful. For 2 months. Now I love this guy.

I think a lot of us felt this way, we can't win them all. But the way they are coming back now is so different than earlier in the season. They got down 3 in the 8th and they just looked like they were ready to get on the bus. So happy for Tracy. This was his big chance and he's winning. Chapman remains a concern and this can no longer be ignored.

Casas.....Casas...., Nope, name doesn't ring a bell.

Yeah I'm not understanding the hate, Moran's numbers this season are pretty good. And Weisert has had a number of strong outings recently. With the new addition I like our pen a lot.
